I live in Washington, in a rural area, near the cities of Olympia, Silverdale, Bremerton, WA. I am in the late 50's age bracket.

(1) I cannot locate a dance instruction location to take lessons, such as in West Coast Swing, other than going as far into the city of Seattle, which is approx 2 hours away from my home. Can someone help me locate the nearest location or make a suggestion?

(2) Also would like to find a location near the above cities for "social" ballroom dancing where beginners-intermediates can go and not feel intimidated.

(3) As a last resort, I would like to purchase a "current" WCS video or DVD on WCS dance instruction. Can someone help?

I don't see any of the lower level Buddy Schwimmer tapes and I haven't watched any of the new Ron Montez tapes (Is it the new style?). Schwimmer gives you a lot of step fast! I have three Kincaid tapes. I sent one back it was such poor quality (looked like she filmed it in her livingroom under a table lamp. It was beginning-intermediate level I think). Stying for Women was good as was the higher level tape which was more professional lookig.
